It originated in an 1894 mission hall opened on the Romford Road by St Mary's Church, Little Ilford. Initially housed in an iron church, St Michael's moved into a red-brick permanent church by Charles Spooner whose nave and aisles were completed in 1898 and its chancel in 1906. St Michael's became a separate mission district in 1928 under a priest-in-charge, answerable to a bishop, before taking over as the area's parish church in 1939, with St Mary's as its chapel of ease.[1][2]
This Victorian building was later closed, demolished and replaced by a smaller church on the same site as part of the Froud Centre.[3] It serves the parish of St Michael & All Angels, joint with St Mary the Virgin, Little Ilford. As of 2021, the parish priest is Father Lee Taylor.
